Q

Why is the job of a sperm cell

A

Transports male DNA to egg

17
Q

How is an egg cell adapted

A

Nutrients in cytoplasm to feed embryo

After fertilisation structure changes so no more sperm cells can get in

18
Q

How is a sperm cell adapted

A

Long tail to swim
Lots of mitochondria for energy
Acrosome stores enzymes needed to digest through membrane

19
Q

What is unique about a bacteria cell

A

It has no nucleus

20
Q

What is the role of cilliated epithelial cells

A

They line the surface of organisms

They move substances

21
Q

What is the role of cillia

A

Moves substances in one direction along the surface of a tissue
